Canning Links

Some useful links for  home canning.

Presto Website - recipes and information on how to can and canning tools for sale

Utah State University Cooperative Extension - They even have an online class for canning


We welcome all tips, recipes and tutorials for canning, also if you'd like to share a link to your favorite canning site please do (leave a comment).

Just a reminder that canning is a great way to preserve food, but it needs to be done right, make sure you are prepared and then "ye shall not fear" (to eat what you've canned - or there's that pesky little fear of blowing up your kitchen).

If you, or someone you know has experience with canning and would be willing to share your knowledge please let me know.
